Actually forget about the recommendations, there are threads about such things already on here, obviously.

2nd dibs 1" ahead stem pls thanks.

I picked up Stargazing as a cheapo, total chance buy a few years ago; I also really enjoyed it.

So, what cycling books would people recommend I put on my xmas list? I think The Rider by Tim Krabbe is the only cycling book I've read, which is a very very poor show considering how much I enjoy the two pass-times.

Recently read:

If not now, when? by Primo Levi, really enjoyed it.

All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, amazing and just as heart breaking as I remember from when I read it at school.

The Hunted by Elmore Leonard, brilliant pulp. I love his style, his books pretty much read themselves.

About to read Indignation by Philip Roth. Recent, so it's probably been panned, but I've enjoyed everything I've read by him, and haven't even read any of his seminal works 'cos they're never in the library!

Hi do you know what the rake is on the forks please?

Dibs noodles in that case. PM on the way.

How much to post the noodle bars please?

Do you know what clamp size the Specialized drops (number 76) are please?

Eggbeater 1's for £27.95 + free shipping. Merlin are on Evans' price match list too.

^^ Ha I was only wondering, not implying it was shit if it didn't! I agree it's an excellent price, the micro SD slot is a good feature.

Do you know if it does gapless playback?

I'm not sure tbh, I was considering buying some of those Andel Campy rip-offs but am not averse to a more modern look.

I have however decided that I'm going to go for 170mm and silver rather than black.

I'm after some cranks, preferably 170mm but I'll consider 165mm as I'm not sure a pleb such as me will notice any difference. If a ring is included it'd ideally be 47 or 49.

Anything nice-looking and in decent nick considered, not really looking to spend £££s though.

And I'm up north so they'd likely need posting.

Cheers!

I'll take the Charge Knife if it's still available and you don't mind posting please.

You've convinced me, the shoes are in the bin and the bike's being melted down to make spoons. I'll never have to buy another spoon in my life, cheers!

Thanks for the responses!

^^ Bizarrely enough I do already have a bag! I don't always want to carry a spare pair of shoes with me though, especially if I'm going to the pub. I can also use platform pedals and clips/double straps, I just fancied some clipless shoes that look ok with normal clothes and can't always be bothered to change my pedals.

^ I could get a car, I could get the bus, I could get a taxi. In fact why bother with a bike at all?

Does anyone know what the differences are in cleat thickness's ie which will make least contact with the ground when walking? I've bought some Chrome Kursk Pros in order to have some clipless shoes that I can wear with jeans etc and not feel silly. However they have a relatively thin tread so they tap dance a bit with the shimano cleats that I currently use (with Specialized MTB shoes).

Google suggests that Eggbeaters may have the lowest profile but I hear mixed reviews of their performance.

Ha ha sorry I thought the 21 referred to the depth!

Finally got my new (old) frame back to my house. Needs some nice new wheels, maybe a nicer seatpost, maybe some drops, and a bigger chainring.

Also I'm going to get the top of the steerer tube filed properly and the star-fangled nut levelled; it seems daft to have a CK headset coupled with a blunt hacksaw/hammer job on the steerer.

I'd be interested in seeing these. How deep are they please, and what tyre sizes will they be suited to? And I'm sure this has been answered before so soz, but what are the Mach 21s suited to width-wise?

interested in the condor cogs is it £8.00 for both? and are you willing to post?

sb, are the condor cogs £8 for both or £8 each?

£8 each
.

Great price, don't suppose you fancy selling me that black Charge Spoon do you?

le bump.

VO stem procured thanks to Uppadine!

Your friend just needs a shallow-drop brake. It wouldn't make much sense to have drilled forks that you couldn't fit a brake to.

The brakes on this page have the reach ranges specified http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shoppedal.html

Also http://www.lfgss.com/thread29816.html

and probably about 10 other threads on here ;-)

Cheers this is proving more productive than I anticipated!
